Physicists have been able to create an atomic gas that can attain a temperature below absolute zero, -273.15˚C (-459.67˚F). They were able to create this…
Quantum computers will be able to perform tasks that silicon-based computers wouldn’t be able to do, like cracking the codes that protect bank transactions. Several…
Scientists discovered a magnetic field that can control the flow of heat from one body to another. It was first predicted 50 years ago, and…
A team of physicists at the Max Planck Institute have shown that ultrashort light pulses of extremely high intensity can induce electric currents in otherwise…
The latest data presented by scientists on Higgs boson shows that separate measurements of its properties are showing two slightly different masses. The scientists at…
Samarium hexoboride, a compound that had been poorly understood and that can gain conducting properties at very low temperatures, maybe a topological insulator in its…
Three years ago, Jian-Wei Pan and his colleagues were able to quantum teleport information across 16 kilometers (10 miles). This was one of the first…
Quantum physicists have shown that superfluid gases can conduct without experiencing any resistance, possibly paving the way to help model the early Universe in the…
Scientists investigating how atoms interact with one another have now gained new insights into a type of interaction that may contribute to the advancement of…
A new tabletop experiment using a single photon was proposed to show whether space-time is made up of indivisible units. Space isn’t smooth, and physicists…
A photon can act as a particle one moment, following a well-defined path like a tiny projectile, and a wave the next, overlapping with its…
Serge Haroche of the College of France, Paris, and David Wineland of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, have been awarded…
Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy, physicists studied the real-space local density of states of a two-dimensional electron system in a magnetic field and imaged the quantum…
